Demo has a boyfriend…Demo has a boyfriend! I like Subway, but I haven’t been there since they stopped doing the “canoe” cut. Is that everywhere?? A chain-wide change? Zette ---

Please try a little more salt next time. More peppers and ripe tomatoes help a lot too. I’ll see about posting a tortilla chip recipe for you real soon. Thanks for trying the recipe, it’s one of my faves. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Demo \* > …It must be awful hard being the Lord High God of Food all the time.

As to McDonald’s, you’ll really go ballistic when I tell you that I haven’t bought their food in almost 20 (count them, twenty) years. Now you and your boyfriends go get a room and get sandwiched. Unless you _really were_ talking about fucking sammiches that is… (Remind me to antognize people in the Pit more often. This whole exchange is absolutely hysterical!) ---

What the _fuck_ are you people talking about? A canoe is split down the middle. So is a fucking book. What the hell is the difference? If you don’t want the shit to fall out, don’t eat it while hanging upside-down and violently masturbating to the musical styles of Rob Zombie. And don’t fucking _touch_ my 12-inch Subway Club with lettucetomatoescucumbersLOTSofonionsandmayo. ---

Yeah, but a canoe ain’t open on both ends like a fucking book, and a canoe will hold meatballs so they don’t fall out on your lap but a fucking book won’t. And meatball subs make life worth living. ---

Due to American Imperialism[sup]TM[/sup] the “book” cut was forced upon Subway in Australia. What intrigues me is why did they change the way the bread was cut? What corporate advantage was there? Less accidents? Faster sub preparation? What? Surely there was some logical reason. I eat them pretty regularly for lunch with workmates. You get a card with stamps and after 6 visits get a free 12" if you buy a drink. The prices are roughly the same in Australia but our dollar is only worth half one of yours. ---

Over the summer, I would go to Subway and get subs for my entire family (FTR, there are five of us and it would cost somewhere around $20). I am an expert at ordering five sandwiches at a time. It’s some sort of gift, I swear. Whenever I go to Subway to get a sandwich just for myself, it feels weird to only order one. I gotta ask them to do the old cut. The lettuce always falls out of my book cut; it never occured to me to ask for the old cut, though. ---
